"I'm just going to get this off my chest and out there before I begin this review: I'm completely over RPG's. I'm tired of taking Material x for Quest-giver y in order to receive Potion z. The formula is that of many RPG's these days, and that's just the problem to me. The genre has just gotten too...formulaic. No one wants to run around casting Thundagagagaga at the same three enemies over and over for 30 hours. It's a practice of sheer tedium, and one I'm quite frankly sick of."
Although the sequel is on the near horizon, the original Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen remains a fantastic action RPG, still worth playing.
Daman Shelley from NoobFeed writes - Dragon's Dogma is truly a one-of-a-kind game, and there really is no other game like it, but there are a few that come close. Whether with their fantasy settings, the ability to climb mountains, or just with the overall same charm as Capcom’s iconic RPG. Here's a list of games that will hopefully scratch that Dragon's Dogma itch.
I can still hear the title screen music in my head after nearly 12 years. Loved every minute of it.
I have no issues filling my time til DD2.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink, Infinite Wealth and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will probably me more than enough.
More terrified I won't be done in time.
Try not to burn yourself out before the game releases. This is going to be a long and immersive RPG like the first one.
The games in this article are all great and I believe the people who are excited for Dragons Dogma 2 probably already played most of those games.
For now, I recommend you prepare yourself for long play sessions if you will be picking up Dragons Dogma at launch.
Dragon’s Dogma achieved its highest concurrent player count in over six years over the weekend.
Excellent game spoilt by grindy combat and no fastbtravel the stones travel system was rubbish
I'm doing my part to contribute to this. Found out my pawn had been a busy bee while I was away.
when i found this game i loved it and played the hell out of it, got to the demon in the expansion and after feeling pretty good at the game he wiped the floor with me, fatigue set in, but i need to get back into this i think, looking forward to 2 for sure.
A perfect review? Whoa.
This game is amazing!
I highly recommend it. Specially if u liked Dark Souls. It has a bit of that feel to it.
Totally agree not even a big gamer and cant stop playing this game once you get into its amazing
Just beat this, at level 55, what an experience. I loved it all.. Loved it.
What the game lacks in plot progression it makes up for in pure unadulterated fun. I look forward to every single battle, no matter how minuscule, and think about playing it even when I'm not. I haven't experienced that with a videogame in YEARS. It's a real shame that some will overlook this game because they base their decisions on the mainstream media and their rushed, highly mediocre reviews (IGN and Kotaku immediately come to mind). This is a game that shouldn't be taken at face value; one that deserves to be played for hours on end, and then some. Curious how reviewers like this, who obviously took their sweet time with the game, give DD a glowing recommendation, yet the ones working on a deadline taint it with 6's and 7's. If anything, the game deserves to be TRIED. If you do, I can 100% guarantee you'll be more than pleasantly surprised.
